'A Quiet Place 2' to open March 20, 2020

May 27 (UPI) -- The followup to the 2018 monster movie A Quiet Place is set to open in theaters on March 20, 2020.

Actor, writer and director John Krasinski confirmed in February that he is working on the sequel, which, like the original film, will star his wife, actress Emily Blunt.

Paramount Pictures initially planned a May 15, 2020, theatrical release for A Quiet Place 2, but recently moved up the opening date, MovieWeb said.

Variety, which also reported the date change, said Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe are returning for the sequel alongside Blunt. Cillian Murphy is set to co-star.

The thriller followed an isolated family as they tried to survive in post-apocalyptic, upstate New York where giant, blind creatures with super-sensitive hearing waited to devour anything they sensed.

Krasinski's patriarch character was killed in the first film.
